This is my second marathon – I was seeking a flat, fast course with cool weather in pursuit of a BQ. Baystate met all these criteria and I and my family had a great race day. The event is well-organized – check-in was smooth and fast and there were lots of volunteers around to answer questions.
The course itself was flat and fast. I especially liked that some of the tougher stretches of the race took place on long downhill stretches. There are plenty of well-run aid stations throughout the course too.
One other cool aspect of the race: There are photographers positioned throughout the course and you receive a great set of race photos afterwards.
Weather was great for running – started a little cool and eventually warmed up towards the end of the race. I ran the race in just a tanktop and shorts and was never felt too cold. Although the temperatures rose by the end of the race, I never felt overheated either.
